Uploading Files

For some reason, I guess I’m just too clueless to upload the right file to the right folder.

I have a Chromebook and don’t know how to convert the PDF file into a ZIP folder. I can’t find any instructions online either :(

Plus, I don’t know which file goes in which of the two folders. Do only the images go into one folder??? And the pattern with the PDF file into the other???

Maybe someone can help me. I can’t get the pattern to go live this way. How long does it usually take for a pattern to become publicly visible???


Thank you very much

Hello Minimaus1204,
welcome to the forum and to the platform.
Here I have an info text that answers frequently asked questions about uploading.

Please read it all the way through. The text is pretty long, but it contains important points.

I have an article here about zipping with a Chromebook:
http://www.chromeosbooks.de/2014/04/chrome-os-tipp-ordner-und-dateien-zippen.html

If that doesn't work, please try this method:
www.7-zip.de/
You can use it to zip files.
Once you have downloaded and installed it, you can use it like this:
Put the files you want to zip into their own folder, select them all, right-click them, and a context menu will open. There you click on "7-Zip" and then on "Add to Archive".

You definitely need this—see the graphic; it gets larger when you click on it. But it's also mentioned again in the article.



The approval of the pattern should then go pretty quickly.

If you have any more questions, please put them here in the thread.
I wish you lots of success with your pattern and selling on CP.

If you’ve already read my post, I’ve added an article above about zipping files on a Chromebook:

Good luck!

Everything has worked out now. Thank you very much for the quick and helpful assistance.
